BREAKING NEWS:Okay, overrated, JRPG gets re-release of it's poorly done (without the fan made mod & patch) PC port. More as this story develops.
You should probably think about the quality of games by what they are doing and the environment they are doing it in. Similar to how Mario 64 is epic to levels that are hard to verbalize compared to what else was going on in its time. Or banjo and Kazooie, or Goldeneye.
Etc. Etc.
Yes, they aren't literally the second coming of christ in all eras but for their time they earned their praise by doing things in ways that were considered insane. The kind of gambles you almost never see by any major developers anymore.
So not overrated, just well remembered for doing great things in their field.
Plus, just because something is popular and you don't like it doesn't mean it was overrated. That's like the term "Viral" I don't think it has any genuine meaning, or perhaps ironic, since that's frequently abused.
Yeah...no.
Maybe I've got some personal bias because I was usually half, if not a full, gen behind until the PS2 Era but FF7 was lacking then.

Playing games like FF2(4), FF3(6), CT and THEN playing FF7 felt like a total letdown.
Never mind that, well, here's a vid for you - the guy who made it sounds like a prick but his point is pretty good.


Don't get me wrong, FF7 is an okay JRPG, but it's not near the level of Mario 64 in terms of 'revolutionary' or whatever.

Lock the target

WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!?

Disregard, didn't fully read the OP.

Anyway, I hope it gets a proper visual enhancement. I'm no graphics whore, but FFVII could use a spit-shine.

I played the PC version of final fantasy VII back on my old Win 98. Oh yeah, 2 GB of hard drive space, the majesty of it. It's such a pain in the ass to play old PC games, so good for steam if they patch it up some. I'm just pissed I can't get Freespace to work. I just want to ask since I'm being nostalgic about old PC games, anyone out there ever play Hardwar. Never met anyone who has, it's still a favorite.
Was that the elite type game set on Titan with the solar powered aircraft?

If so, yes I played it, loved it.
Yes, yes it was. There was some guy remaking it and I think the page is still up, but it hasn't been updated for months. Had my hopes up for a while.still do
Wow that sounds more interesting that FF7 remake (and Im a huge fan, not scary shrine huge though).

Iirc the ending music for hardwar was pretty beautiful as well, Dome Epais?
The site is still up http://www.hardwar.org/ that keeps my hopes up.
